    Default Guess what has been growing? Possibly another Paph IQ ...

    Can you guys guess what has been doing its thing at my place since last week? This one should be a breeze! So obvious! Hehehhehe!!!
    BTW, I tried but this beauty is not an easy one to photograph!
    Same rules certainly! And I expect the paph heads should get it with the first guess although you guys can ask questions first.
    Cheers. Hoa.

    Gorgeous... it also looks like the plants I have outside that I am wishing so much to grow and bloom! The colours are wonderfully dark!

    Thanks you guys so much!!! You all are DA BEST!!!!

    Hi Steve,
    Well, if it is one of your most fav, then tell us what that is, hehehhehe! It's great that you finally participate! Yes, it is a primary hybrid!

    Hi Tim,
    Thanks Timmy! She is wonderfully dark, isn't she?

    And last but not least, thanks Julie. She is a dark beauty, isn't she?

    Well, I might not be fair, why don't I post another picture of this one? The flash came out so strong with this picture, hence the color is washed out a bit, but still the same dark beauty!
    You guys are doing so well with the fantastic guesses but it wouldn't be a challenge if it is that easy, huh?

    Cheers. Hoa.

    Petals are way too long for Stoned Addict.
    Michael Koopowitz x sanderianum is my guess.

    Since we're guessing in the open, I'll put in my 0.02. to me it is clearly a sanderianum hybrid. It is a little reminiscent of MK itself, but doesn't quite look right. pouch isn't yellow enough. its dark color led me to think adductum at first but then again that orange staminode looked familiar...and there is one other coryo that is magnificently dark. out of the morass known as the praestans complex, a certain wilhelminiae has been recognized for hybridization purposes. a white dorsal would have cinched the deal (couldn't tell from the photos), but that is my guess.
